Pumpkin Spice Muffins : Low Carb : Gluten Free

It's September, so surely time for some pumpkin spice muffins, just right for this time of year! This is a very nice recipe suggestion from Elviira at 'Low Carb So Simple'... and like her, I am sure you will find these low carb 'pumpkin spice muffins' are soft, moist and incredibly yummy!


Ingredients
12 medium size muffins
(net carbs 2.2g)
1 1/2 cup = 360 ml almond flour
1 tablespoon (organic) pumpkin pie spice
2/3 cup = 160 ml erythritol crystals / sweetener
2/3 cup = 160 ml (organic) pumpkin
4 extra large (organic) eggs

Directions
1. Preheat oven to 300 °F (150 °C).
2. Line a muffin pan with paper liners.
3. In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, pumpkin pie spice and erythritol and mix well until there are no lumps.
4. Add the pumpkin and eggs and beat with an electric mixer until smooth.
5. Scoop the batter into each muffin cup.
6. Bake for some 30–40 minutes, or until a stick inserted in the middle of the muffin comes out almost dry.
7. Remove the muffin pan from the oven and cover with a towel.
8. Let the muffins cool under the towel, remove the towel and the muffins from the pan and serve. For a really indulgent treat, frost the muffins with Quick Low-Carb Cream Cheese Frosting - see here
9. Store in an airtight container.

Elviira gives some very useful hints and tips on how to cook these delicious low carb muffins, which you will find here

  12. With 160 ml (organic) pumpkin you mean syrup? I´ve never seen that here.

  13. Interestingly, canned pumpkin is something I've not seen since we moved to Ireland. Could use cooked and mashed butternut squash, which I think is sometimes referred to as pumpkin here. :-)

    Many thanks for your comment ... you may have already looked up which spices to make your own pumpkin spice but in case you haven't this mix is a good one.

    Betty Crocker's easy recipe for Pumpkin Spice:
    https://www.bettycrocker.com/how-to/tipslibrary/baking-tips/how-to-make-pumpkin-pie-spice

    To start, you’ll need all of three minutes and the following ingredients:

    3 tablespoons ground cinnamon, 2 teaspoons ground ginger, 2 teaspoons ground nutmeg,
    1 ½ teaspoons ground allspice and 1 ½ teaspoons ground cloves.
    Mix the spices together in a small bowl ... the smell is lovely
    Store the mixture in a clean small jar or spice container.

    Hope you get to enjoy some pumpkin spice muffins soon.

    All the best Jan

    Hello Iris
    Many thanks for your comment.
    The recipe uses either home made roast pumpkin or shop bought organic pumpkin (not syrup). Ready made organic pumpkin is available to purchase in some supermarkets, or specialist stores, or the internet.

    Hope you get to enjoy some pumpkin spice muffins this Autumn/Fall.
